As the Council weaves a dark game of politics and bloodshed, Aaran finds himself caught between impossible choices: trust the winged tactician Lyssara, who hides secrets that could shatter their fragile alliance, or face the assassins of Kael Vorran alone. The Masked Oracle's first prophecy ignites a war that tears through Veiranos, and Aaran's growing power threatens to make him a weapon for his enemies.

From the deadly Storm Market to the burning spire of Veiranos, every battle pushes Aaran closer to his destiny. In the heart-stopping climax, Throne of Ashes, Aaran must decide whether to rise as the true Pulseborn-or be devoured by the darkness within.

Council of Shadows is an epic tale of power, betrayal, and fate, perfect for fans of cinematic space fantasy, galaxy-spanning conspiracies, and stories where heroes are forged in fire and sacrifice.
